I hit the HDR on the iphone taking the pic of the Range Rover Sport and it messed it up altogether, the matte green is much nicer and darker in the flesh, way too light looking in the pic, alot of power parked up above it, the new M5 & S63 AMG.
Missed a great snap of a new E63 AMG, lovely charcoal color with a slightly different tone grey on the very bottom of the front and back bumpers, savage sound from it also.

Really nice color on this GTR!

Seen this rare trd Celica today...
Not a disk in the window I like his style lol

Quadrifoglio Verde

Won't see many of these around - it's Alfa's equivalent to the GTD, and this one has their DSG alternative.

Have you driven it, how does it compare to the almighty DSG (or the selespeed :P )

Haven't driven it - too scared the box will poop itself before the driver comes to collect :pac:

I'm told it's quite rapid.....

Saw a genuine 1993 Ford Escort Cosworth in Ashford village today. No pictures but a really class car. Just my sort of thing :cool:

Looks like the key ring you get when you buy a real Aston Martin

Thargor · 27-01-2015 03:00PM

Not very micro though:

Theres an iQ in my industrial estate, love seeing it tearing around the little mini roundabouts, probably just because I associate it with getting to go home though.

Seen in Foxrock

BMW i3, they are a little ugly but they save the trees! &#55357;&#56832;

I dunno. I wouldn't be surprised to see some trees wither and die at the sight of that thing.

Oh my good God. It looks like one of those disgusting little handbag dogs with the "mushed-up" faces. :pac:

Alanstrainor · 27-01-2015 04:04PM

It's like they purposely made the i3 pug fugly. They're supposed to be quite fun, and quick too!

Not so sure about that. I'd say the manufacturing process kills more trees than a Ferrari 360 would from it's production to it's end of life.

Ehm.....the Ferrari 360 must also be manufactured!

In the case if you were scrapping your old combustion powered car for an i3 I understand your logic.

I'm talking about from start to finish including manufacture. Unless the manufacturing processes and materials used for these eco cars has changed dramatically then they're not at all eco friendly until they're actually put on the road.

Remember the articles done by TopGear and Evo a few years back about the Prius? The environmental damage done during the manufacturing process of a single Prius was well above the environmental damage done by most high powered cars throughout their whole life, from manufacturing through to the petrol they'd burn over a certain amount of years.

Multipla + roomster + the feltiest wheels never to be fitted to a Passat.:eek:

They really don't want people driving them do they? If they did they would have used the same team that did the I8. Jesus, even the X6 and 5GT lads would have managed better.

Id rather drive the green Roller lookalike. At least it has a bit of character. Cool pod on the back for the wife also.:)

Disproven.

The Argonne National Laboratory ran a side-by-side comparison of hybrid and conventional vehicles over their entire life cycle, which includes vehicle production, vehicle operation and the energy required to produce fuel for both cars. If you assume that both vehicles travel 160,000 miles (257,495 kilometers) over their lifetime, the conventional vehicle requires 6,500 Btu of energy per mile compared to 4,200 Btu per mile for a hybrid. That higher energy input results in far greater lifetime greenhouse gas emissions for conventional vehicles compared to hybrids

Lots of people tend to be ignoring the fact you're not meant to quote pictures...
